While Chase navigates uncharted waters in Port Charles, his portrayer Josh Swickard just made a major life announcement alongside wife and GH alum, Lauren Swickard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Baby Makes Five<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To kick off the new year, The Swickards, Josh (Chase) and Lauren (Nurse Janice), took to Instagram with a joint post to announce that their family is growing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cExciting New Year\u2019s update from the Swickard fam,\u201d read the caption, along with a video featuring Josh, Lauren, their daughter Savannah, and son Arthur. Throughout the video, Lauren shows off her baby bump, their farm, and sweet family moments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"208\" height=\"208\" src=\"https:\/\/ifefe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-99.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2841\" style=\"width:337px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ifefe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-99.png 208w, https:\/\/ifefe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-99-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 208px) 100vw, 208px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GH cast members Maurice Benard (Sonny), Steve Burton (Jason), and Bradford Anderson (Spinelli) left love on the post with likes. Lydia Look (Selina) chimed in with, \u201cLove! Congratulations @joshswickard and family!\u201d while Josh\u2019s on-screen brother Michael Easton (Finn) wrote a sweet and simple, \u201cCongratulations\u201d alongside a heart emoji.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The comments also filled with congratulations from fans. \u201cI remember watching your guys\u2019 movies and you guys have a real life happily ever after,\u201d wrote one fan, referring to the couple\u2019s Christmas romcoms. \u201cCongratulations, Josh and Lauren! You make beautiful babies. Love watching your little family growing and growing up!\u201d said another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Josh celebrates this family milestone, his character Chase has a lot on his plate. His determination to exonerate his ex, Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), has left him without a badge. Now, he\u2019s navigating life being suspended from the force, tension between him and friends like Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and Michael (Rory Gibson), and an unhappy (and jealous?) wife.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Swickards already have a lot to celebrate in 2026!
